[Xymon] New spec file (beta test request) (was RE: Xymon 4.3.0 - Build RPMs)

[Ralph Mitchell]

On Fedora 14 I get:

   Patch #53 (xymon430.client_uses_sysconfig.patch):
   + /usr/bin/patch -s -p0 -b --suffix .client_uses_sysconfig.patch --fuzz=0
   + /bin/cat /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/xymon430.client_uses_sysconfig.patch
   1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file
client/xymonclient.cfg.DIST.rej
   error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.bSi2vb (%prep)

With patch 53 commented out in the spec file, it goes a little further, then
I get:

   Patch #102 (xymon430.pagegen.summariesonnongreen):
   + /usr/bin/patch -s -p0 -b --suffix .pagegen.summariesonnongreen --fuzz=0
   + /bin/cat /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/xymon430.pagegen.summariesonnongreen
   1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file xymongen/pagegen.c.rej
   error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.NGwGru (%prep)

Then patch 54 fails:

   Patch #54 (xymon430.Makefile-initdvars.patch):
   + /bin/cat /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/xymon430.Makefile-initdvars.patch
   + /usr/bin/patch -s -p0 -b --suffix .initdvars --fuzz=0
   1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file client/Makefile.rej
   error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.UH0Ona (%prep)

BTW, I also saw that gcc-c++ is a dependency, but I have previously built
xymon-4.3.0 from the source tar without having gcc-c++ installed.

Anyway, with  those three patches commented out in the SPEC file, it did at
least build, all the way to here:

   + install -d
/root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/xymon-4.3.0-0.956.fc14.x86_64/etc/rc.d/init.d
   + install -m 755 rpm/xymon-init.d
/root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/xymon-4.3.0-0.956.fc14.x86_64/etc/rc.d/init.d/xymon
   install: cannot stat `rpm/xymon-init.d': No such file or directory
   error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.vxmhpk (%install)

I guess that's a result of patch54 not being applied.  I poke at it some
more later.
